We often neglect our body and its parts. We tend to be very abusive doing things that can harm it and not really paying attention to the abuse that we do. Often times, we think that what we do to this body part will not harm it, but sometimes they do. Our usual mindset is that we do not care unless we already suffer signs and symptoms of medical conditions. Experiencing signs of something abnormal might just be a signal of something that has created much damage already.
One of the parts of the body that we often tend to neglect are our ears. There are several types of hearing problems that are usually acquired through abuse. It's important to know about these different diseases of the ears so that we can be aware before our ears are destroyed. In that way, we can prevent such disorders before it even hits us; after all prevention is better than cure. Through awareness we can be precautious not to do anything that can lead to hearing problems.
If you experience ringing of the ears, medically known as Tinnitus, then that should alarm you a bit. It is a signal that something is wrong in your body. No, it is not a disease but a symptom. Sometimes there is no external factor that can trigger it. It may be caused by medicines, result of very loud noises and many other causes. There is no known cure for Tinnitus other than getting to the bottom of it; knowing its cause. Although this may not be as devastating as hearing loss, it's still alarming knowing that this does not occur in the body normally.
Meniere's disease causes tinnitus and severe dizziness, intermittent hearing loss and later on complete hearing loss on one ear. The person also feels pain due to pressure in the inner ear. This is usually related to a buildup of fluids within the inner ear. It's the most common cause of hearing loss. Attacks occur suddenly that can go as frequent as daily to a few times within a year. There is no known cure for this and may require surgery for severe cases.
Ear infections can cause possible hearing loss, some temporary because of pus and fluids building up within the ear and some without proper treatment can lead to permanent damage. Trauma to the ears, especially to the eardrums, can also lead to hearing loss. Also long-term exposure to very loud noises can lead to destruction of the ears.
The most common symptoms of these disorders are tinnitus and hearing loss. These disorders can happen in any part of the ear, the inner, middle and the outer ear. Neglecting the importance of these symptoms can lead to permanent hearing damage. The minute you experience these symptoms, you should go visit a specialist to know the underlying cause. You have to pay attention to your body. Once you feel a symptom, heed to the call, it always means there is something wrong.
